UNKNOWN caller leaves message that if want to be romoved, press certain button that is all. No other reason for the call is mentioned. I do not know anyone with the name of UNKNOWN.
Actually, she's probably correct. I have let several of my art-focused magazine subscriptions lapse this year. Decided that saving money any way possible during a depression is more important. Besides, I can go to the library or bookstore and read the latest issues-- which kills two birds with one stone: save $$ and cheap entertainment!!
I answered the call -- the telemarketer identified herself as an employee of Dial America representing F W Publications and she was calling for me to renew my subscription to "Watercolor Magazine", which I respectfully declined to do (for reasons mentioned in an earlier post). I asked to be removed from their call list (I anticipate a future call about "American Artist" which I have let lapse as well) so we'll see if they follow through.
Be wary of this number. It is an unpublished landline in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ and F M Publications is not listed in business directory. They are using same MO as FAMS Credit Agency, which tries to scam folks with no debts, and their number is alternating with one of FAMS. My state's attorney general says to be very careful about these telemarketers that call people on do-not call lists as they are often fly by night scammers working out of someone's basement or carport and move every few days/weeks.
This can't be a legit magazine renewal company as I have never given out my phone number on any mag subscriptions, and yet they are calling me daily for a couple of weeks now.
